The Spa City Bourbon Group<\/strong> has announced a new single-barrel selection from Ezra Brooks\u2019 Distiller\u2019s Collection<\/strong>, sharing early details and tasting impressions of its latest private pick. The barrel, identified as Barrel No. 13157<\/strong>, reflects a classic Kentucky bourbon profile and continues the group\u2019s focus on approachable, value-driven selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to information released by the group, the bourbon was barreled on October 15, 2018<\/strong>, making it approximately five years old<\/strong>, and was bottled at 113 proof<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tasting Notes (Courtesy of Taylor Golden)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The following tasting notes were provided by Taylor Golden<\/strong>, founder of the Spa City Bourbon Group, following the group\u2019s evaluation of the barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Golden notes that the nose opens with fresh apple cider<\/strong>, followed by oak<\/strong>, toasted marshmallows<\/strong>, and cola<\/strong>. With time, additional hints of spearmint<\/strong> become noticeable, adding a subtle herbal element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Palate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    On the palate, Golden describes peanut brittle<\/strong> up front, transitioning into lightly roasted almonds<\/strong>. As the whiskey develops, rye spice<\/strong> emerges, accompanied by notes of nutmeg and cinnamon<\/strong> toward the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The finish is described as medium in length<\/strong>, with cinnamon notes intensifying slightly before fading into a lingering cherry cola<\/strong> character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    An Approachable Single-Barrel Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    According to the Spa City Bourbon Group, this barrel offers a strong representation of traditional Kentucky bourbon<\/strong> without commanding a high price point. The whiskey was described as enjoyable neat<\/strong>, while a few drops of water reportedly introduce additional chocolate notes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With its balanced flavor profile and approachable proof, Barrel 13157 is positioned as a versatile pour\u2014equally suitable for casual sipping or more thoughtful tasting\u2014making it a strong candidate for a daily drinker<\/strong> among Central Arkansas bourbon enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As with most private barrel selections, availability is expected to be limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
